Author's Note:
Hiya! My name is Mandy-Chan! This is the first fanfiction I've put serious
thought into and plan to actually keep up lol. I'm sort of a beginner but I
believe I know what I'm doing but I'll also accept any suggestions. Well My
summery sucks and I'm sorry but they only give ya a little bit of space .
So let me explain a few things.
First of all don't yell at me if the characters aren't acting accordingly
or what not I'm not exactly sure how the real Kenji acted but this is my
version of it ok. As for the other's like Kaoru and Megumi and Sanosuke I
kept them pretty close to how they normally act except I added the fact
that they are a lot older into account.
Umm. as I mentioned in the summery this story is full of drama and romance,
most of the romance I'll get to in later chapters but I'm a romantic person
so I sneak in romantic moments here and there lol. It's also going to be
full of action and sadness as well. I'm confident in this story and I truly
hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing it so please Read
and Review Review Review!!! ^^
*****************************************************************
Kenshin lay lifeless in his wife's arms, his skin was pale and his eyes closed, yet even in death he still left a faint smile on his lips for his family. Kaoru couldn't stand the pain, she wept and wept. Comfort from friends and family had no effect on her. All she did was clutch her husband's lifeless body. Her entire body trembling.
"KENSHIN!!!"
She screamed in one last fit of sadness and anger, suddenly she felt herself lose consciousness and fell limply onto her husband's body. Kenji and Kiara watched their mother with tears in their young eyes. Kiara buried her face into Sanosuke's shirt and he gently stroked her hair trying to comfort her even though his own tears were flooding down his cheek. Megumi gently placed young Kenji down next to her own son and ran over to Kaoru's side.
"Kaoru-Chan?!"
She yelled through a shrill cracked voice. She wiped the tears from her eyes and pulled Kaoru away from Kenshin's lifeless body.
"Sanosuke help me bring her inside."
She ordered and he carefully placed Kiara down by her brother. Kiara then clutched onto Kenji's shirt and cried. Her young body shook violently. Kenji simply looked on with wide eyes. Abruptly he tore away from his sister and stepped forward. The young 10- year-old looked down at his father's body with hatred in his eyes.
"Why? Why did you have to be so Weak father."
He whispered through his young and raspy voice. Then his knees buckled and his legs went limp he fell and cried violently onto his father's chest. Kiara's shaky legs began to give also and would no longer hold her, but Souzou caught her and gently placed her on the ground where she immediately curled into a tight shivering little ball.
"It'll be ok Kiara-Chan, it'll be ok."
He whispered to her as he kneeled beside her and tried to control his own emotions. ************************************************************************
Later the next day.
************************************************************************
"It's time to say goodbye Kaoru dear."
Megumi softly said and gently shoved Kaoru toward her husband's grave. Kaoru walked forward seeming lifeless herself. Kenji held his mother's left hand and Kiara her right. The miserable family then walked up to Kenshin's stone.
"How do I say goodbye Kenshin? How do I live on without you? I don't know, but I promise you this, I will not give up on this family, and I will never forget you or all the happiness you've shown me. I love you Kens.."
She could not bring herself to finish and she fell to her knees weeping over his grave. Megumi laid a gentle hand on her shoulder and lead her away.
Kenji was next; he walked up to his father's grave and stood there. His head hung low and his fists clenched. 'Why did this happen? How dare he die like this and leave us alone.if only he were stronger then maybe he would've survived, damn it, father, damn you, well I'll be different I swear, I'll be different.' He thought then lifted his head and addressed the stone in front of him.
"I promise to be strong father."
He muttered in a low stern voice unusual for his age. Then walked away whispering a final.
"Goodbye..."
Kiara walked up to her father's grave. The sorrow on her face made the adults shiver and mutter to themselves about how sad it was for a girl of such a young age of 7 to feel such pain. She squeezed the beautiful bundle of flowers between her little chubby hands then laid them on the ground in front of her father's gave stone. She then closed her eyes and took a deep breath, when she opened them she wore a forced a little smile on her trembling lips.
"I hope you like them Daddy, Mommy and I picked them out for you, Aunty Megumi told me I should say goodbye to you. Well."
Kiara shivered and lost the little control she had managed to muster, her voice cracked due to the sobbing and tears.
".I'll miss you, I love you daddy, goodbye." She said and ran off into her mother's open arms.
****************************************************************
Author's note: well that's it for the first chapter! If anyone's curious Kenshin died of natural causes, a disease, and not in battle. You may be thinking. "Ok well why the hell would Kenji hate hi father cuz he died of illness?!" Well It's a bit more complicated then that so just stick in there my beloved readers ;)
